Mass Effect 2 first review-9.5

Mass Effect 2 - 9.5

+ Enveloping universe filled with interesting characters and revealing side stories.

+ Outstanding, flexible combat in gorgeous environments.

- Main story is a bit disappointing; dull element mining and hacking.

? Why do characters cry oil slicks?

OXM said mass effect 1 was the best game he ever played and gave it a 10.

- Main story is a bit disappointing

link?

so it scored lower than the first one, that dont look good.

is this from OXM too?

Sequels often don't have thestrongest main story or plot, as, naturally, they offer a huge cliff hanger at the end, but hey, I'm not complaining. Game looks epic anyway.

so it scored lower than the first one, that dont look good.

OXM is usually fairly close to Gamespot scores if you actually look. This is a good thing IMO.

Uh oh

:( O well, i still have my hopes :P

Is it the same reviewer? And by that I mean the same person.

I'm curious to where this information was taken from.Stevo_the_gamer

Doesn't phase me... gonna be great. I am kinda surprised they brought back the pointless element mining though.

Well, its where it came from. The actual review's location? You got me.

You have to download the scans.mitu123

A better story was the only thing I wanted from Mass Effect. I'm fine with the same graphics and gameplay as long as the story is improved!

Clearly they have something wrong. ME2 baby! :D

I hardly ever agree with OXM and in this case, I don't care if it scored lower than Mass Effect. I know I'll love the game, so it really doesn't matter. The story was never all that awesome in the first one either, so yeah.

[QUOTE="wolverine4262"][QUOTE="mitu123"] Yeah, but I downloaded it and they're pdf files, and can't seem to upload them.

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]Ah, now I'm curious to where HE got the information from. I see no scans, no proof. :( I van't to read the review, not the pros and cons damn it! :Plawlessx

Kind of worried that the first game somehow got a higher rating than the sequel :?

How the hell can people be complaining that it scored 0.5 less than the first when the score is a 9.5! Geez...

Awesome score. Psyched for this one.

I wonder how the PC version does.

I'm excited for ME2 but I honestly couldn't care less what OXM reviews say, especially after they let an intern review Dead Space (who gave it a 6 :| )Juggernaut140

[QUOTE="wolverine4262"][QUOTE="mitu123"] Oh well, at least I got some more info.:P
